Immortality means different to different people.
That is why the concept of hell, heaven and purgatory is soo appealing to a lot of people especially the ones that wants the easy way.
It is a personal choice to gamble your existential now for some future nirvana or reward. But one thing that we should think of IMHO is why we view our present planet or earth as a temporary way point on to some journey that no one has came back or seen.
Without logic or anything. It just basically does not make any sense.
Things would be different if people rationally. And think of our planet as the only place you will be at from birth to death and nothing after for sure. Humanity will be better off.
Sir, you are correct. Humanity can think that way logically. That is, there is no heaven or hell. However, it's is also logical to think that there's heaven and hell. With regards to the logic of the existence of an intellectual design which points to a higher being, there is a thread here with the arguments already laid. With regards to the existence of heaven or hell, I think it is logical din because in the absence of the knowledge of the afterlife, there are also people who, since I'm the absence of said knowledge, doesn't hold himself accountable kaya they can possibly and intentionally do "bad" things or violate our law. Why? Probably because kapag hindi siya nahuli ng law and walang punishment, lusot na siya. However, if he believes heaven and hell, heaven is a reward for those who believe in the creator of heaven and do good things not only for the benefit of mankind but also to glorify the higher being. However, hell is a punishment for those who do evil deeds. Medjo for me, it could also prove dangerous if there's no hell because ang magiging mentality ng tao who would want to do evil deeds, kung makalusot siya sa justice or law, libre na siya. However with the concept of hell, he's still afraid to do evil deeds because he knows he will suffer in the afterlife.
Yes sir I totally agree with you that there is nobody we know who's been there and returned. But I know that of all the religions of the world, only Christianity, thru Jesus Christ, has risen from the dead and brought back to life with witnesses.
